Permitting research projects on marine geoengineering

The German Environment Agency (UBA) is the enforcement authority for scientific projects in marine geoengineering. Marine geoengineering refers to targeted interventions in the seas to mitigate climate change, such as through methods for CO₂ removal. The legal basis for this is the German “Hohe-See-Einbringungsgesetz” (Article 8 para. 3 HSEG).
